There's a growing number of people who seem to think the world is, in fact, flat.
But it gets better. They also insist that Australia is actually just one big hoax.
According to a viral Facebook rant, the entire country (and presumably the 24 million people that live there) is completely FAKE.
The idea resurfaced at a recent gathering of so-called Flat Earthers in Birmingham recently where over 200 people came together to confirm to each other that the Earth is nothing more than a giant pancake.
The origin of the "fake Australia" post started on Reddit back in 2017 and was written by a Shelley Floryd. But it appears to be back in the minds of the spherically-challenged at the moment.
"Australia is not real," the rant begins.
"It's a hoax, made for us to believe that Britain moved over their criminals to someplace. In reality, all these criminals were loaded off the ships into the waters, drowning before they could see land ever again.
"It's a coverup [sic] for one of the greatest mass murders in history."
Moreover, the post reckons that all Australians are nothing more than computer generated personas and if you've ever been Down Under yourself: "you're terribly wrong".
Hilariously, the pilots are apparently all in on it - and have just been flying you to parts of South America all these years.
Flat Earth theories have been shot down by just about everyone capable of rational thought, but the theory is still enjoying a current resurgence.
Over 200 conspiracy theorists gathered at a hotel in Birmingham for the UK’s first Flat Earth Convention.
The convention, which took place over three days, saw nine speakers take to the stage to explain their theory as to why the Earth is flat.

Are you? I haven't seen you post a single flat earth thread on Free Republic.
It's easy to talk big at the tail end of a thread that's gone dead. You and I are talking to an empty room.
Let's see you open a new discussion, and expose the Freeper community to its own ignorance.
I know you won't, but you'll for sure reply with some song and dance about why you "don't have to."
Hypocrite.
You're behind the times. I haven't posted a thread of any kind in years.
You and I are talking to an empty room.
Can you prove that?
I know you won't, but you'll for sure reply with some song and dance about why you "don't have to."
No song and dance, because I don't have to sing and dance. It's called choice.
Don't you make choices in your own life?
There’s fun little movie/tv mini series call ‘The Color of Magic” written by Terry Prachett...
...The important question is whether the turtle is male or female?
philman_36 ~ Can you prove that?
Nobody here but us chickens, boss...
There it is. Just as I predicted. I knew you were too chickenshit to post a flat earth thread.
So, are you a hypocrite by "choice", or are you just too cowardly to make good on your boastful talk about educating the world on their "ignorance"?
Dude, you are such a fraud.
C'mon, dude, make up your mind on which pejorative to use.
Be careful when crossing the road. {;^)
Although who is to say if it was the Great A'Tuin who laid them in the first place.
Perhaps it was just there for the hatching.
Couldn’t help it, I was stapled to the punk rocker...
Do you even know how FB works? I’m in the group and posts pop-up on my feed. I knew the dude before he started the group and he added me to it, I had nothing to do with it, I didn’t ask to be added.
Looks to me like you don't know enough about FB to remove yourself from the group.
I know how to leave, who said I want to? If I left where would I get my daily laughs?
Dear Phil:
NASA itself has admitted ALL of its “photographs” of earth are fake composites, with painted clouds and photoshopped and cloned words like SEX and “666” written into the earth paintings.
NASA itself has admitted it “no longer has the technology” to go to the moon.
NASA itself has admitted there is some sort of “cap” coughTheFirmamentcough on the atmosphere that prevents modern-day space travel.
NASA itself has admitted that none of its photos of the “sun” or deep space are real, but composites.
NASA itself has admitted it has “lost” most of its moonwalk footage.
NASA is a left wing, climate-change loving, Islam-loving Deep State institution.
So, why is there such sentiment on FR for NASA’s propaganda?
Methinks all who are protesting against you are DeepState paid trolls or antiChrist demoniacs who do not understand plain math, such as the curvature formula or the idiotic idea that the “air” spins at 1000mph with the earth.
LOL. What doofuses the Deep State thinks we are!
Retread much?
Cool story bud. I just sold a bottle opener I made this morning for $1,250.
You have fools for clients.
Yes, the ones near the vanishing point look much smaller, as do the car lights down the street.
So why does the sun not look smaller at the vanishing point?
If it was firing the engines, there would be 3 distinct plumes, instead of a rectangular hot spot.
